Why Sworn Coordination Services
Why clients use us instead of a guard company
01
Sworn officers, not guards
Licensed Texas peace officers with full arrest authority. A licensed security guard does not have peace officer arrest authority. That difference is the entire reason to work with us instead of a guard company.
02
Vetted to peace officer standards
A Texas peace officer license requires a minimum 736-hour academy, a full background investigation, a psychological evaluation, a medical exam, a drug screen, and a fingerprint criminal history check. The armed private security license requires 45 hours. Every officer we coordinate holds the first one and works for an agency that keeps holding them to it.
03
Local officers, not a national dispatch
The officers covering your site already work the area. They know the roads, the response patterns, and who to call. Nobody is being flown in or routed from a call center in another state.
04
Transparent pricing
You see exactly what you are paying for: the officers' labor, paid directly to them at their rate, and a separate administrative fee covering recruiting, coordination, scheduling, quality assurance, and overhead. Two numbers, both visible to you, and they never appear on the same document.

Insights
From the company
September 11: remembrance and the responsibility to serve
We remember the lives lost, the families changed, and the responders who answered the call. For SCS, remembrance is a reminder to approach service with preparation, care, and respect.
How visible police presence can help deter crime
A visible officer can influence how people assess risk and where they seek help. Research supports focused police presence, while effective coverage still depends on the location, timing, and assignment.
Behind the badge: Texas peace officer background checks
Texas peace officer screening reaches beyond a criminal-record search. Personal history, prior employment, medical and psychological screening, and agency review all contribute to the appointment process.
